Keeper Leagues

This is for real hardcore fantasy players. - keep your players each year, as a real NFL team After you have drafted a team you then can make changes to it with waivers and with trades with other owners. But each year you come in with basically the same unit of players. This gives a good feel for a long-term franchise. The huge advantage is that the drafts in the following years are shorter since the teams hold on to a core team from the previous season The biggest challenge here is determining how many players can stay on a team each year. If teams hold on to too many players, you'll end up with teams staying in the same position each year. Too few and you lose the flavor of a keeper league. It's up to the owners to decide how many players can be held and what restrictions there are.

Non-Keeper Leagues

You join the league and draft a different team each season. Trades and waivers are allowed during the season but once the season is over, the players go back into the draft pool for next season. These types of leagues will either offer a live draft or automated draft. Live drafts are generally the most popular because people usually like to pick their own players. With an automated draft you choose your top players in order of how you would like to draft them, then the drafting software will choose your players according to to where you rank in the draft order and who was chosen before your turn in the draft. Non-keeper leagues are good for owners and commissioners just starting out. It avoids any issues in tackling the keeper league problems, but lengthens the draft to a the full length every year. Another advantage is that every owner needs to start fresh - giving a better picture of how good an owner someone really is.

You Pick 'Em Leagues

All you do in this type of league is look at the regular weekly lineups between the NFL teams and choose who you think is going to win each game or another version is which team will score the most points each week
